We could potentially have 3 guys with 4pts in group 1! By the way, you should check out the game between bozo and me, him playing white. I'm really impressed by  his sacs.

I know that you have the right to be on vacation, to play once every three days, and to continue until you are mat but the game is clearly finished! It's honorable to say "ok, you win!". This is the only game left for more than two month, playing more often would be appreciated.

This tournament is an absolute disgrace. Even though I am still involved.

I'm even thinking of resigning my next set of games (if they ever get started!!)

People on permanent vacation!!

Slow play.

The only tournaments I will enter in the future are NO VACATION ones.

What's going on? I keep checking on that last game, and it always says "44 hours" left for one guy to move. Why isn't it going down? He's not on vacation... oh wait... he is STILL on vacation.

@Claymix

 

You said that one game only has 17 moves, well, if you look carefully, one game hasn't even start in group 1!

Only four games left in the first round, but they are taking FOREVER. One of them only has 17 total moves. What have you guys been doing?!
